665,000 VISITORS SEE NATIONAL 
PARKS IN ALBERTA 


Tourist trade in Alberta this 
year has drawn 665,000 visitors to 
the national parks, according to 
information received by officials of 
the Alberta Motor Association. It 
looks that an estimated $20,000,000 
in outlays by tourists will be ex- 
ceeded, This will be a gain of more 
than $2,500,000 over 1948. 

Satisfaction over the showing is 
expressed by officials of the motor 
association. They point out that for 
many years the A.M.A. has advoca- 
ted greater expenditures on high- 
ways, convinced that the expen- 
ditures would certainly be a very 
profitable investment, returning 
er than the original road costs. 

In 1948, there were 483,281 per- 
sons visited the four national 
parks, Banff, Jasper, Waterton and 
Elk Island. This year there has 
been a 37.78 gain on the 1948 fig- 
ures. 

Banff led all parks with a total 
registration of 324,491 compared 
with 271,892 last year. Elk Island 
had a total of 130,948, as against 
66,445 in 1948. The total for Jasper 
was 72,392, a gain of 21.24 percent, 
while at Waterton the total was 
138,051, an increase of 67.8 percent 
over a year ago.

U.K. GRAIN YIELDS 

It is officially estimated that 
grain yields this year in the U.K. 
will be high and the wheat yield 
may be a record, But despite the 
high yields, 
duction at 72 million bushels, 
considerably less than last year’s 
production. The prospective yield 
of mixed grain and a good crop of 
hay are very encouraging for the 
livestock feeder.

Gleaming like a white jewel amid the emerald beauty of Hearst Island, in the St, Lawrence river, stand 
Boldt Castle’s towers.—Central Press Canadian. 


By H. D. CRAWFORD . 
(Central Press Canadian 
Correspondent) 

Heart Island is one of the 1,800 is- 
lands of the St. Lawrence river pop- 
ularly known as the Thousand Is- 
lands, Boldt Castle dominates Heart 
Island. Persons familiar with the 
Rhine are reminded by it of magnifi- 
cent old castles along that historic 
German stream. 

George C. Boldt spent some $2,- 
000,000 on this castle, designing it to 
duplicate @ Rhineland castle. He 
built it for his wife, and when she 
died during its construction Boldt 
ordered all work stopped and the 
castle has stood ever since, unfinish- 
ed, 

Boldt castle is enormous, It has 
some 80 bedrooms and 50 bathrooms. 
Its magnificent granite exterior rises 
loftily above surrounding trees, From 
surrounding islands or from Alex- 
andria Bay on the New York main- 
land, Boldt castle appears to be com- 
pleted—-the dreamhouse for which it 
was designed. 

Thousands of persons from Canada 
and the U.S. touring the Thousand 
Islands visit Boldt castle every year. 
As they approach it they are inspir- 
ed by the beauty and taste of its 
liner. Many shudder at its desolate 
emptiness, and are saddened with the 
feeling that such a magnificent struc- 
ture should have been frustrated by 
death, 

Boldt, as a poor boy in Prussia, 
had admired the ancient castles 
along the Rhine, He cherished the 
dream that some day he might build 
such a castle for himself as a symbol 
of his success and power, 

In the U.S. Boldt met with Hora- 
tio Alger success. He became the 
owner of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel 
in New York city and the Bellevue- 
Stratford in Philadelphia. He headed

Visitors with vivid imaginations 
may weave murder mystery plots, or 
dream of haunted castles, or antici- 
pate the day when some millionaire 
may complete George Boldt’s castle 
and make Heart Island the dream- 
land in reality that Boldt hoped to 
make it for his beloved wife. 

Boldt purchased about 2,500 acres 
on nearby Wellesley Island. The 
north end of the 800-foot American 
span of the five-span Thousand Is- 
land international bridge between the 
U.S. and Canada now rests on Wel- 
lesley Island. 

On this estate Boldt partly com- 
pleted a chain of canals. These were 
to be crossed by beautiful stone 
bridges, He erected several fine 
summer homes, golf courses, polo 
grounds, and yacht houses, 

When work began on Boldt castle, 
granite was cut in quarries owned 
by Boldt on Oak Island, 10 miles 
away and hauled by barge to Heart 
Island. Mortar was mixed with sand 
dug from sandpits owned by Boldt. 
Heart Island's very shape was chang- 
ed to that of a heart. 

Boldt’s concept of developing the 
island was to make the castle the 
central dominating structure among 
11 buildings. The castle itself was 
large enough to provide luxuriant 
quarters for 100 guests. Each room 
was a veritable apartment with pri- 
vate bath and tapestry brick fire- 
place. 

Other points of interest to the visi- 
tor on this tragically romantic is- 
land are the tower dock, fish pond, 
Aster tower which Boldt used as a 
summer home and which is itself a 
small Rhineland type chateau, the 
peristyle and boat shelter, the power 
house, the Italian garden with ter- 
races and fountains, the swan pond, 
covered dock, and promenade along 
a 500-foot lagoon, 

Visitors to this unique castle see a 
large billiard room, music room, 
dining room. They walk along a 
magnificent main hall, They climb 
a grand staircase leading to upper 
floors. They see the large library, 
which was to have been finished in 
Flemish oak. 

Hardwood and other materials for 
finishing the rooms are stored in por- 
tions of the castle closed to the pub- 
lic. Elegant materials were used 
throughout, 

The numerous guest rooms have 
led to speculation as to what Boldt 
planned to make of this castle, which 
he proposed to develop into the finest 
structure among the Thousand Is- 
lands. Some say it was to have 
been a colony. Others surmise that 
Boldt planned to bring to Heart Is-

Thumb-Sucking 
Detrimental 
To Teeth 


Psychologists haven't quite per- 
suaded orthodontists that it is proper 
to let a child suck its thumb, says 
Dr. A. R. Winn of McGill Univer- 
sity’s Department of Orthodontics in 
an article—‘Orthodontics and Civil- 
ization"—in the current issue of 
Health, Canada’s National Health 
Magazine. 

“They say that stopping the habit 
will do something to the child’s per- 
sonality, etc., etc., and that the teeth 
can easily be straightened later,” 
comments Dr. Winn in his contribu- 
tion to Health which is published by 
the Health League of Canada. “I 
wonder if having to live for a number 
of years behind the deformed face 


of a habitual thumb-sucker doesn’t 
do something to the personality too? 

“Also the thought can’t help crop- 
ping up that the psychologist doesn’t 
have to do the job of trying to cor- 
rect displaced teeth, which is often 
anything but easy; furthermore, he 
doesn’t have to pay for it. Anyway 
this contains another suggestion for 
prevention of a certain type of malo- 
clusion of the teeth. If thumb-suck- 
ing indicates a craving for more af- 
fection on the part of the child, give 
it more affection, and at the same 
time stop the habit; not by constant 
nagging, which won’t work, but by 
constant encouragement.” 

Dr. Winn suggests a lot of blame 
for irregular teeth can be traced to 
civilization—the knife and fork, soft 
well-cooked foods. These give the 
jaws less work to do and prevents 
their proper development. | At* the 
present, “native populations” through- 
out the world show better developed 
jaws than civilized ones. 

He emphasizes that children should 
be given tough foods to chew—and 
that breast-fed babies develop stur- 
dier jaws than bottle-fed infants. 
Further, the writer states, mouth- 
breathing changes jaw and facial 
features, Some irregularities run in 
families. Prevention in this case, 
says Dr. Winn, is “simply a matter 
of choosing the right parents.”

Golden Plover Amazing Example 
Of Game Birds Migratory Instinct 


By Olive Williamson In ©-I-L Oval 
THE hunter and the conservationist are dependent on one of na- 
ture's strangest phenomena in the pursuit of their endeavours 
—the unerring instinct by which most North American game birds 
follow regular “flyways” each spring and fall. Flyways are the 
established routes used by migratory birds as they pass between 
their nesting grounds in the north and their wintering territory in 

Southern U.S.A. and South and Central America, 


The knowledge of these flyways 
guides the hunter to the places where 
hunting is best conducted and tells 
the conservationist where he can 
most suitably study and work for the 
protection of Canada's popular game 
birds, 

The flyways of North America are 
grouped into four main divisions in 
which each species of bird follows its 
own particular migratory route, The 
“Atlantic Flyway” reaches from the 
coastal waters of the Atlantic to the 
Mississippi Valley area. The breed- 
ing grounds of the birds who use 
this flyway each spring and fall 
stretch through northern Canada 
from the Atlantic to the Mackenzie 
basin on the Arctic; and the winter- 
ing area is the southern Atlantic 
coast of the United States with a 
few species going as far as Cuba, 
and other West Indian islands, The 
“Mississippi Flyway” is like a great 
funnel. The breeding grounds of its 
birds are again in Northern Canada 
going all the way across the Arctic 
from the Mackenzie River mouth to 
the east coast of Hudson Bay. Nine- 
ty-nine per cent. of these birds win- 
ter on the lower Mississippi and the 
nearby Caribbean coast, 

The “Central Flyway” covers the 
area known as the Great Plains Reg- 
ion of the United States and Canada, 
bounded by the Mississippi River on 
the east and the Rocky Mountains 
on the west. Here birds nest all 
over the northern prairie regions and 
fly south to winter in Southern Tex- 
as, Mexico and Central America on 
the Pacific Coast. 

On the West Coast, the ‘Pacific 
Flyway” is enclosed by the Pacific 
Ocean and the Eastern slope of the 
Rockies. Birds breed anywhere from 
the B.C, coast to the Alaska Arctic 
Ocean coastline and winter generally

WORLD CITIZEN GARRY DAVIS 


Unique Leader Has Disciples But No Program 


By JOSEPH A. DEAR 
(Central Press Canadian 
Correspondent) 

Garry Davis, leader of the World 
Citizen movement, is undoubtedly 
one of the few people on earth who 
feels “it is immoral to be an Ameri- 

can,” 

About a year ago Davis, a Phila- 
delphian, startled an America inter- 
ested chiefly in the approaching 
Democratic and Republican nominat- 
ing conventions by renouncing his 
United States citizenship to become 
the “first world citizen”. 

During the last year Davis has en- 
joyed a phenomenal success in Eu- 
rope. He has more than 300,000 fol- 
lowers. As a journalist here put it: 
“If Garry Davis were speaking at 
one end of the Champs-Elysees and 
Generals Eisenhower and Bradley at 
the other, Davis would draw most of 
the crowd and all of the cheers.” 

Who is Garry Davis and why has 
he become a near international hero? 

Twenty-eight years old, he enlist- 
ed in the Air Force after a short 
career as a Broadway actor, Davis 
served as a bomber pilot in England, 
and later as an instructor in the 
United States, 

After receiving his discharge Dav- 
is returned to the theatre, but devot- 
ed an increasing portion of his time 
to world government movements— 
particularly to Cord Meyer's United 
World Federalists. 

Finally, Davis experienced “a sort 
of religious” conversion, As the 
saintly men of medieval times felt 
compelled to renounce the materialis- 
tic world, he felt compelled to re- 
nounce nationalism and citizenship 
because they conflicted with his con- 
ception of duty “to the total world 
community.” Davis successfully de- 


citizenized himself in May, 1948. 

With the instinct of a showman, | 
he unsuccessfully tried to address 
the United Nations General Assem- 
bly, which met in Paris last Novem- 
ber, The police hustled him out of 
the balcony. Earlier Davis waseforc- 
ed to sleep on the UN's “interna- 
tional territory” in Paris because he 
was a citizen of no nation, 

The French government decided to} 
let him remain in Paris, although he 
never accepted the papers which 
legalized his residence here. 

Davis also sought official British 
permission to address a rally in Eng- 
land. When refused, he announced 
he would speak to the crowd from a 
helicopter, but John Bull nixed that | 
too, 

Incredibly, Davis discovered he had| 
no coherent program to offer, He| 
found he had been behaving like the| 
proverbial headless chicken; all ac-| 
tion, no thinking. 

To Europeans, the idea of an in-| 
ternational citizenship that would} 
make wars unnecessary is appealing | 
in a way that few Americans can 
understand. War is a more terrible 
reality in France, hence, the sudden 
springing up of someé 300,000 eager 
followers of Garry Davis. 

Davis believes his awareness of 
these facts that has placed in his 
hands an enormous power, He is) 
now busily searching for a way to 
put his power to a practical use, He 
is at last doing some thinking. 

The need for thinking made Davis 
decide a withdrawal from the public 
eye was desirable. The Paris 1news- 
papers announced he had left town, 
and would return only when he had 
developed a plan of action and a per- 


| citizens, 


Actually, Davis has not left Paris, 
though he has “retired”, He lives 
with a French family in a small flat 
on the Left Bank. This section of 
Paris is the traditional refuge of 
students, artists and philosophers, 


Davis sits behind a portable type- | 


writer, flanked by a dictionavy and 
innumerable outlines, 

He's not even sure that he knows 
what he will expect of other world 
At first Davis said no fol- 
lower would have to renounce his 
citizenship, but now he’s wavering on 
that point, Renunciation would make 
his followers more tight-knit by giv- 


jing them the common bond of state- 


lessness, 

What would be the duties of a per- 
son who became a world citizen? 
Davis has not got that worked out 
yet, but he would expect them to 
strike blows for racial tolerance by 
non-violent means, 

Like many mystics—and that is 


| what he is—Davis hopes to work out 


a code of conduct for himself which 
will be an example for others, He 
speaks in terms of a “personal spir- 
itual reawakening"”, of “morals”, of 
the “brotherhood of man"’—all are 
the terms of the religious person. 
He said he would prefer his followers 
imitate him without his giving any 
“orders”, 

Yet in the following breath, he 
grimly speaks of “tightly disciplined 
groups” of world citizens acting to- 
gether to bend the national] states to 
their will, 

Davis feels he is approaching his 
answer, that he has nearly complet- 
ed his program of action. He does 
not know when his retirement will 


from the Washington State coast 
region down to South America along 
the Pacific, 

The golden plover is one of the 
best examples of the phenomenon of 
migratory skill at work. This bird 
was once widely hunted until it came 
close to extinction a number of yeara 
ago and protective measures had te 
be enforced in Canada and the Unit- 
ed States. Recently the species has 
been showing signs of recovery, 

Far out at sea, Atlantic sailora 
are often startled by the sight of a 
flock of robin-sized shore birds flash- 
ing past. The birds are American 
golden plovers flying to winter in 
Argentina from nesting grounds in 
northern Canada and Alaska. 

Practical fellows, they take the 
shortest distance between two points, 
along the Atlantic Flyway, which in- 
cludes a 2,000-mile overseas jaunt 
between Nova Scotia and South Am- 
erica .., one of the longest non-stop 
flights known in the bird world! 
Oddly enough, they follow this route 
only when heading south; in spring 
they reach the far north overland 
through Central America and up the 
Mississippi Flyway. 

The golden plover, a small beauti- 
ful bird, is cousin to the well-known 
killdeer of the Canadian countryside. 
With a mere 20-inch wing-span, ite 
appearance gives no hint of its amaz- 
ing flight performance. No sea bird, 
it can’t feed and probably can’t rest 
while over the water. If the Lock- 
heed Constellation, inch for inch of 
wing span, could fly as far, it would 
not just cross the Atlantic but would 
travel 150,000 miles at a time, or 
more than six times the distance 
around the world, 

What urge drives the plover to 
make these nearly impossible over- 
seas trips without benefit of land- 
marks? Naturalists are at a loss for 
an explanation, particularly in the 
case of the American golden plover 
which reaches its nesting grounds in 
the spring by an overland route. 
Why not come back the same way in 


the fall instead of spanning the 
ocean? 

As for the navigational problems 
involved, the explanation of the 
birds’ unerring sense may lie in the 
experiments of Professor H. L. 
Yeagley of Penn State University. 


He found that homing pigeons:seem 
to locate themselves by a combina. 
tion of a magnetic sense plus a sensé 
of the earth's rotation, The rotation- 
al force varies as they proceed from 
the equator to the pole, thus giving 
them a measure of how far north or 
solith they are. The magnetic sense 
gives them direction. The two in 
combination cause a “feeling” by 
which the birds locate themselves. 
The plovers spend the major part 
of the year in their winter quarters 
eating insect pests and growing fat. 
They molt in the spring and get the 
urge to go north about April or May, 
travelling 35 to 40 miles per hour, 
Soon after the chicks are hatched 
on the northern tundra, mother and 
father begin to long for the sunny 
south. In August, scarcely three 
months after the’spring migration, 
they unceremoniously abandon their 
young and take off. The youngsters, 
however, seem to be quite capable of 
taking care of themselves. When 
strong enough a few weeks later 
they also leave the north, completely 
undismayed by the fact that they 
are about to perform a navigational 
feat difficult even for humans until 
the development of radar, Why do 
they do this? And how? These are 
questions that will possibly go un- 
answered forever. Nevertheless, 
teams of ornithologists and enthusi- 
astic naturalists in every part of the 
world are on the job with the latest 
equipment and knowledge science has 
provided to search for these answers,

Diagram of portable incinerator built of pre-cast concrete slabs. 


HE problem of refuse disposal can 

be overcome to a great extent 

with the use of a small domestic in- 
cinerator, 

We are showing herewith a draw- 
ing of a small domestft incinerator 
built of pre-cast concrete slabs bolt- 
ed together when the incinerator is 
to be seteup. It will be noticed that 
three of the concrete slabs run to 
the ground and the remaining side 
reaches only to within 10 inches of 
the ground,

mixture to be used for this concrete 
job is one part of cement to two 
parts of sand and three parts of 


This is a space for the} 


crushed stone or screened pebbles. 
After the slabs have been cast, they 
should be covered with moist straw 
or sacks as soon as the cement has 
hardened sufficiently to prevent dam- 
age, and left in this condition for 
two or three weeks, before they are 
assembled or subjected to heat, 
The grate for this burner is sup- 
ported by three of the bolts holding 
the slabs together, and may consist 
of a piece of ordinary expanded met- 
}al or metal lath. Reinforcing for 
|the slabs is essential and may con-

TRY AND STOP ME! | 


By BENNETT CERF 
Aly Khan, who tells fables when 
he is not preoccupied with Rita Hay- 


Hoffman: A mouse lived in constant 
terror of a cat. A magician took 
pity on it and turned it into a cat. 
Immediately it became afraid of the 
dog. So the magician turned it into 
a dog. Now it began to fear the 
tiger. 

So the magician obliged again and 
turned it into a tiger. Immediately 
it began to fear the hunter, Then 
the magician said wearily, “I might 
as well turn you back into a mouse, 
my friend. You have only the heart 
of a mouse, and alas, I cannot help 
you.”

Canada rising because of the coun- 
try’s sound position and devaluation. 
But he warned conditions in Can- 
ada were dependent on those of other 
countries, Prosperity for Canadians 
depends on availability of foreign 
export markets, Mr. Gardner said. 

Being vitally interested in Can- 
ada’s export trade, the 65-year-old 
banker sounded notes of both opti- 
mism and doubt for the future of 
agricultural exports under recent de- 
valuation of the British pound and 
Canadian dollar. 

“It was welcome news to hear 
from Washington that Britain will 
now be allowed to spend $175,000,- 
000 of Marshall plan money to buy 
Canadian wheat,” he said. 

But he added: “The overall outlook 
for western agriculture is not en- 
tirely a happy one under devaluation. 
It’s much too early to say, but man- 
ufactured goods rather than farm 
products would seem to have the 
better chance for export markets,”

There is an old saying among lin- 
oleum experts that more linoleum is 
scrubbed away than ever worn away. 

Unless the floor is in a very bad 
condition, there is no need to scrub 


it. It is hard work and causes need- 
less damage, which will ake it 
harder to clean. 

Soap and linoleum do not get along 
together, but if soap is used at some 
time, choose a mild one. Use luke- 
wartn water and not too much of it, 
and be sure to rinse and dry the 
floor thoroughly. 


What should I do to the linoleum 
when it’s first laid? Two thin coats 
of a good liquid wax (free from tur- 
pentime) should be applied before the 
linofeum is used and allowed to be- 
come soiled, 

What's the best way to revive an 
old floor? The linoleum should be 
thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and dried. 
This should be followed by an appli- 
cation of two thin coats of a turpen- 
tine-free liquid wax. The surface 
should be vigorously polished after 
each application, until the -~wax is 
worked in, 

How should I clean printed lin- 
oleum? A light mopping with warm 
water is all that is usually neces- 
sary. ¢

AS TO POKER 

Women are much better poker players than men They remember 
cards better, They bluff more cleverly. They are also very tricky, For 
example, when men play poker they talk about poker When a woman 
get 1 poker game she will deliberately introduce other subjects than 
poker into the conversation. This has a tendency to throw the men off 
their game. It doesn't affect the women at all because of their ability to

if they are blondes. It's all right for a man to play bridge, canasta or gin |

Jeswold looked from Mr. Derrick 
to Natalie and back to Mr. Derrick.

“Speak up, boy, 
Derrick snapped. 

“Yes, speak up, Jeswold,”’ Clarence 
said, pulling the name out like 4@

Jeswold straightened. “A good

city with clean sidewalks all around. 
It is a great big school. A great big 
school.” 

“You already said that,” said Mr. 
Derrick. 

“It has a lot of children in it, Lots

you don’t have to fnow everybody.

foolishness. ‘“Jeswold, come here,” 
he said softly.

Mr. Derrick heard Natalie say,

him. 

He started around the unpainted 
board school house, to the woodshed. 
He found Jeswold in a corner cry- 
ing bitterly. He put one hand on 
the boy’s shoulder, “Son,” he said, 
“there is nothing to be afraid of 
here. Natalie knew that you didn’t 
mean it. We all know it now, Come 
back with me. We will show you 
what friendship is.” 

Jeswold looked up through swollen

When they walked in the room,

Early Ambitions 
May Be Realized 
For Bob Solinger 


The following despatch by B. Hes- 
keth appeared recently in the Toron-

Saskatchewan country town boy, 


who has made the big-time in the 
hockey world:

Proposes Children's Zoo 


VICTORIA, — Establishment of a

ren, parks administrator, 
turned from a convention in Detroit 
of the American Institute of Park 
Executives, 


building of a zoo at Beacon 
Park,” the parks superintendent said. 
“But I think it would be wise to give 
the subject some thought for imple- 
mentation later.” 


Bob Solinger 


from Prince Albert, they 


to 


used 
start ’em shooting pucks and snooker 


at a very tender age. That's how 
Bob Solinger, 10 at the time, hap- 
pened to be understudying in the 
local emporium (a strictly social or- 
ganization) one Saturday night about 
12 years ago when Foster Hewitt 
was recounting by radio the exploits 
of the Toronto Maple Leafs, 

“Solinger, who displayed the same 
glassy-eyed admiration when names 
such as Sweeney Schriner, and Hap 
Day were mentioned as the young 
fry of today do for Ted Kennedy and 
Turk Broda, paused in the process 
of chalking a cue and told the as- 
sembly that some day he'd be up in 
the big time. 

“This statement raised a cloud of 
chortles from those present and drew 
marked disfavor from a gent two 
tables away who was jolted out of 
missing an easy black ball in the 
corner pocket by young Solinger’s 
soliloquizing. 

“So, like the guy who sat down at 
the piano, they laughed at Bob Sol- 
inger when he started to play. To- 
day the left-winger rates a 14-carat 
chance to stay with his favorite 
hockey club, the Leafs, and it could} 
be that the inhabitants of the same 
pool hall will hear the same Hewitt 
talking about the same Solinger this 
winter. 


“Three years ago he was operating 
in Edmonton senior, circles. Then he 
went to Cleveland, He had such a 
sensational debut winning the Dud- 
ley Red Garret award for being the 
outstanding rookie and piling up 69 
scoring points, that all six clubs 
were drooling for him, Al Sutphin, 


he could make by going to the NHL 
bigtop at the end of his first year. 
“I like money,” he said, “I stayed,” 


Last year, though his goal pot 
dwindled considerably, there were 
still four NHL clubs after him, Jim 


Hendy, New Baron president, traded 
him to Johnny Mitchell, of Pitts- 
burgh Hornets, for three Leaf farm 
hands,”

Our Climate And 
Our Weather 


Climate is one of the greatest up- 
setters of the human plans and ac- 
tivities. It dictates our economy, 
what we wear, the kind of house 
we live in, the sort of food we eat, 
how hard we work, and even when 
and where we spend our vacations. 
Farmers and industrial magnates 
must bow to it; all animal life, 
from instects to elephants, live and 
die under its rule. 

Mankind has never known a 
“normal” climate. We of 1949 are 
at the tail end of an ice age, living 
in a time following a_ period of 
climatic violence as great as any 
the earth has ever known. Several 
of these periods can be traced on 
the earth’s crust, and between 
them there have been long ages of 
genial climatic uniformity, looked 
upon by geologists as “normal” 
times. 

Climate runs in cycles. Our old- 
est rocks, around Rainy Lake in 
Western Ontario, reveal gravel de- 
posited under physical conditions 
not greatly different from those of 
today. 

We are all familar with the daily 
cycle in temperance zones: a maxi- 
mum temperature in early to mid- 
afternoon and a minimum shortly 
before sunrise. The annual range 
is also familiar, through the vari- 
ety of temperature, rain, snow and 
wind that makes up Spring, Sum- 
mer, Autumn and Winter. 

Next in significance, probably, is 
the widely-accepted 11-year cycle 
corresponding to the cycle of sun- 
spot frequency. Records kept for 
more than two centuries show that 
sunspots wax and wane in number 
and extent twice in about every 
23 vears on the average. Since the 
sun is the source of our heat and 
the basic cause of our weather 
changes, it is natural enough to 
suppose that cycles of weather 
should correspond to such changes 
in the sun’s condition, although 
is not yet proven, 

One point about _ which there 
seems to be general agreement is 
that the earth’s surface is getting 
warmer. Just a month ago Profes- 


| sor G.H.T. Kimble and Professor F. 


K. Hare, both of McGill University’s 


| Department of Geography, totalled 


up the score for this summer, ad- 
ded it to their charts, and we de- 
cided that we are well on our way 
to a new type of climate in the 
countries bordering the Atlantic 
coast. 

Summers they say are getting 
progressively hotter and _ longer; 
winters are milder. But, they hast- 
en to add, our historical records go 
back only_a short time—merely for 
seconds on the clock of the earth’s 
progress, The present trend, detect- 
ed in the 1880's, “may be just a 
shiver in the world’s weather, but 
might also be the road back to a 
much different climate.” 

We are rising out of a_ cold 
period that had its greatest depth 
about 1,500,000 years ago. Glaciers 
all over the world are receding rap- 
idly; the permanently frozen sub- 
soil in northern Canada is melt- 
ing slowly; ships can now reach 
Spitzbergen, north of Norway, dur- 
ing nine months of the year in- 
Stead of three months of thirty 
years ago. When we are entirely 
out of the Iee Age there will be for- 
ests in the interior of Greenland 


where the ice is now two miles 
thick
